Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Case
A 27-year-old female came to see me initially with complaints
of extreme fatigue, stress, dizziness, lack of concentration and
bloating. She had to take a leave of absence from work as
she could barely get out of bed in the morning. She was
diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome at the age of 19
years old and she was on many doses of antibiotics as a
child. For the first visit, we did a Vitamin B12 injection, fish oils
and an adrenal supplement. After that, she came into see me
every 2 weeks for a B12 injection and I changed her
treatment plan according to the symptoms she was
experiencing at that time. I have now been treating her for 3
months and she reports to be at least 80% better. Her
energy has improved dramatically and she is now back at
work full time.
Hypothyroidism
A 27-year-old woman came to see me for symptoms of
Hypothyroidism. She suffered from low energy, weight gain,
constipation and dry skin. Her lab values showed high TSH
and low T4 and free T3, which confirmed the diagnosis of
Hypothyroidism. When she initially came to see me her family
doctor recommended that she start taking Synthroid, but she
decided that she wanted to try a natural approach first.
When she came in for the initial visit, she was already a very
healthy eater and had started some supplements that were
recommended to her from the health food store. She was off
to a great start but there was still a lot that needed to be
done. I began by taking her off some of the supplements.
Even though they were helpful, I wanted to focus on the
essential nutrients that she needed at that time and I didn’t
want her to be taking endless amounts of pills. I also had her
do a liver detox that was tailored for her situation specifically.
She was a great patient and followed all my recommendations
perfectly. After treating her for 6 months, it was remarkable
that her blood tests became normal and all her symptoms
cleared. As an added bonus, 3 months later she came to my
office telling me that she was pregnant!
Headaches/Migraines
A woman in her 30’s came to see me for chronic headaches
and migraines. She had been suffering for years and often
resorted to anti-inflammatories to relieve the pain. These
medications helped when she had a headache but they did
not correct the underlying problem. After going through her
history, I determined that she was deficient in certain vitamins
and minerals. As well, according to Chinese Medicine, there
was a blockage in her energy channels. I made slight diet
changes, added a couple of nutritional supplements to replace
what she was missing through her diet and started doing
weekly acupuncture sessions. She noticed improvements
right away and no longer needed her medications. We
started spacing out the acupuncture sessions and she
continues to see a significant improvement.
Insomnia
A man in his 50’s came to see me for insomnia. He had been
suffering with this problem for over 30 years and had been on
numerous medications. When he came to see me, he had
been on Imovane for a few months and felt that he was
becoming dependent on it. I decided to try weekly
acupuncture sessions along with weekly Vitamin B12
injections and slight dietary modifications. During this time, I
slowly decreased the dose of Imovane. At the present time,
he no longer takes any medications and has seen much
improvement in his quality and quantity of sleep.
Fertility Case
A woman in her 30’s came to see me for fertility problems. She
had been trying to conceive for 4 years prior to coming to the
clinic. She had previously tried In Vitro Fertilization with no
success. After 2 months of treatment at our clinic, the woman
got pregnant. She recently gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
Initially, I did a thorough health history intake to determine
possible reasons why this couple was having difficulties
conceiving and then together we came up with a treatment
plan that was suitable for them. Treatment involved simple
diet changes, high quality herbal and nutritional supplements
and weekly acupuncture sessions.
Dermatological Cases
A man in his 40’s came to see me for Dermatitis. After doing a
case history, it was determined that he also had digestive
problems. I decided to do a comprehensive digestive stool
analysis and found out that the patient lacked good bacteria
within his digestive tract and this was causing yeast
overgrowth. Treatment involved a digestive cleanse and
dietary modifications. The dermatitis and digestive problems
both immediately cleared and the patient is continuing to do
well.
A female in her 20’s came to see me for Cystic Acne. She had
been suffering with cystic acne for years and she had tried
numerous topical and oral medications. I decided to have her
tested for food sensitivities and heavy metals. It was
determined that she had mercury toxicity and numerous food
sensitivities. I put her on a heavy metal detoxification
program, cut out all foods that she was sensitive to and made
some nutritional supplement recommendations. One year
later, the patient continues to be very happy with the
improvements on her skin.
Candida Causing Yeast Infections and Constipation
A female in her 30’s came to see me for Chronic Yeast
Infections and Constipation. Initially, I tried some anti-yeast
supplements which seemed to help only temporarily. It was
then determined that she had an imbalance of her female
hormones at which point I put her on a herbal formula that is
very effective in balancing the hormones. The patient no
longer suffers from yeast infections and constipation.
